The German telecom company T-Mobile is claiming the color magenta! We have to stop them! T-Mobile started sueing Dutch companies which use magenta in print and commercial campaigns. They already sued Compello and they are urging "Slam FM" and "100% NL" to quit using magenta as well!

T-Mobile claims to own the rights for the use of magenta! They claim to have the rights registered at OAMI which is completely bonkers, in this way they claim to own the rights of Magenta over whole Europe! Everyone should be allowed to use magenta anywhere, anytime! It's part of the colorspectrum and the colorspectrum should always be free!

So its time to smack some sense into T-Mobile! Here we can start off with a petition for reclaiming Magenta.

We feel there is a lot more that could be done to stop this madness than a petition only, so suggestions and help are very welcome!

I don't think magenta is really what us Americans need to be fighting for.

we're still dealing with brown!

how the hell can you own the rights to a fucking colour? thats just stupid

its about as stupid as owning a patent on biological items. or life forms.

which exists in our world

there is an international color system called Pantone Mode System that has specific chemical forumulas for colors so that things get printed uniform all over the world. So if you create a new combination of chemicals to create a new shade of some color, then you could technically claim it/copyright it.

suppose its not quite so stupid when u put it like that but im sure magentas been around for much longer than that
